well if you dont cut them you might hit them on big bumps. if you do cut them your struts will probably wear faster. its up to you but i cut mine so if i blow a strut its gonna suck!

the only reason i cut mine was i didnt want to put it all together and drive it and hit them. then i would have to take it all apart again.

if you dont cut them they might bottom out on the bump stop, you will save your strut from blowing out.

youll probably be good without cutting them. i have an 07 ls so the drop on mine is probably a little bit more than yours but idk.

if im not mistaken the main reason to cut them is because people were getting noises from there suspension when going over bumps and normal drivin bc of the bumpstops, hence they cut them and no more noise
